The effect of being told you’re loved is very powerful. But what happens when that love becomes an invisible threat?

Lou is a 28-year-old primary school teacher who’s wholly aware the audience are watching her. She wants to show them exact moments in her relationship, breaking down the progression of coercion as Lou journeys from freedom to being trapped.
